Authentic Tuscan Culinary Journey

Begin your journey in Florence, the vibrant heart of Tuscany where culinary excellence meets Renaissance splendor. Discover the city’s artistic masterpieces through a private guided exploration of both iconic landmarks and hidden treasures known only to locals. Immerse yourself in Florentine culinary traditions as you join an expert chef for a morning market expedition, selecting the freshest seasonal ingredients like a true Tuscan. Transfer to the chef’s private kitchen for an intimate hands-on pasta-making workshop, mastering traditional techniques passed down through generations.

The pinnacle of your Florence experience awaits with an exclusive private dinner in a historic deconsecrated chapel, where you’ll savor authentic Tuscan specialties paired with distinguished regional wines while enjoying privileged access to Botticelli’s tomb—a truly once-in-a-lifetime culinary moment.
